"Huh~~Huh~~ General Qiyu, the scouts in front have come to report, they have seen Yang'an Pass."

"Huh~~~Huh~~~ Mom, it's finally here."

On December 10 of the first year of Yanxing, starting from the new capital, the Guan Yi team ran frantically for twelve days. Yang'an Guan is finally in sight.

Along the way, Guan Yi's team first crossed the Dongguanghan County of Shu Han and entered Langzhong of Pasir County. This section belongs to the interior of Shu Han, not to mention the flat terrain, and the official roads also extend in all directions. It took only three days. But after Langzhong, Guan Yi didn't dare to go north directly to Hanshou - it was too close to the Sword Pavilion.

The area they went next was roughly equivalent to Wangcang County under Guangyuan City and Ningqiang County under Hanzhong City in later generations. In later generations, these two counties were located at the junction of the Micang Mountains and the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, so the landform of the entire county was dominated by mountains. In the 21st century census, the combined population of the two counties is only about 800,000.

And now this place ...... No man's land!

Of course, this no-man's land is relative - humans are the most adaptable species on the planet, and there are not many truly absolute no-man's lands on the planet. The meaning of no man's land here is that there are basically no Han people living here.

Moreover, because Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang consciously blocked the traffic on the side of Bajun, so as not to facilitate Cao Wei's breakthrough. Therefore, in the more than 40 years since the founding of Shu Han, the roads here have never been repaired.

Therefore, the Guan Yi detachment that entered Micang Mountain suffered a lot.

By the time they walked out of the mountain and Yang'an Pass was in sight, the whole team had completely disfigured.

The more than 10,000 people who carried grain and grass on their backs in the early stage have all been left behind. The 12,000 Revival Army also lost more than 1,000 people one after another due to various reasons such as exhaustion, illness, and falling off a cliff. Although these people have been accepted by the Bayi people in the mountains because of the relationship between Juning. But such an acquiescence is not gratuitous. In order to prevent the stragglers from being a burden to the already impoverished life of the Bayi people. Every Badi cottage that took care of those who had fallen behind received more or less food from the Ba'an Army. So, now, when they walked out of the mountains, Sun Gang, who was in charge of logistics, reported sadly: The grain and grass in the army can only last for another five days at most.

Guan Yi and the others are also in a very bad state, in addition to the terrifying weight that everyone has never seen before, Guan Yi, Zhang Zun, and Zhao Yi ...... One counts as one, and all of them have their feet worn through, bleeding, scabbing, grinding through, bleeding again......

"Bang", the dirty black hand reached into the armor and groped for a while, and after pressing to death a lice that tickled him, Guan Yi sighed: "Huh~~~ I can understand why the prime minister didn't use Wei Wenchang's Meridian Valley strategy." This long-distance run is not a human thing at all. Well, how many days have we been out of Xindu? ”

"I'll see, one, two...... XI, XII. Brother, every time the sun rises, I make a mark on my robe. Today is the twelfth day. ”

"Twelve days ......" Guan Yi frowned: We are going too fast.

There is no way, in such an era where there is no long-distance communication, two teams are running long distances towards different goals. Once one party is exposed, the other will definitely be exposed. The commander of both teams must have full consideration for the safety of the other team.

"The order was issued, and the Fuling Army sent twenty mandarin duck formations to spread the warning curtain, and those who were close to our troops should try to catch them alive. If you can't catch it, kill it! ”

"No!"

"Order, the whole army rests on the spot for a day. Tomorrow after nightfall, we will march towards Yang'an Pass. ”

"Brother, why do you need a day off? Shouldn't it be a blast? ”

"Stupid! Look at us like this, do you really want to rush out immediately, will you be able to use the knife later? Besides, if we take Yang'an Pass tonight, Zhonghui will be alarmed the day after tomorrow at the latest. It was only fourteen days since we set out from Xindu. Do you want to kill General Huo? Tomorrow night, tomorrow night, first, everyone has a good rest. The second is that after the start tomorrow night, Zhong Hui will not know the news until at least the day after tomorrow, which happens to be the fifteenth day. ”

"Uh...... Brother, what if General Huo Lao and they have already taken Baishui Pass? ”

"Hey, then we will inevitably be ambushed by the enemy's heavy troops in Yang'an Pass, and the whole army will be destroyed! Well, that's not the case. Don't think so much about it now, carry out the order! ”

"No!"

There was no word for the night, and the time came to December 11 (the thirteenth day of the Xindu raid).

"Hiccup~~~" Just arrived at the time (seven o'clock in the evening), Cao Wei Yang'an Pass guard Huangfu Min was already full of wine and food, after following the city wall of Yang'an Pass after a round. I'm ready to go down to the Kannai to rest.

Speaking of which, the last two months have been a good time for Huang Fuhong.

The Huangfu family has a long blood relationship and noble personality, and has been deeply involved in Guanzhong and Longxi for many years. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a great man: Huangfu Song. This lord suppressed the rebellion in Liangzhou and suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising. It belongs to the god of war level on the battlefield, and it is difficult to taste defeat for decades.

It's a pity that Huangfu Song, who abides by the rules of the monarch and ministers, ran into Dong Zhuo, who did not pay attention to the rules. In the end, he died of indignation. The Huangfu family has disappeared from the high-end political arena for a long time.

Huangfu Min is far away from Huangfu Song's branch in terms of blood. But he is already the highest-ranking person in the Huangfu family in the past fifty years. Therefore, he received the full support of the entire Huangfu family.

Of course, Huang Fuhong himself is also very competitive. At the end of August, he was the first to seize Yang'an Pass.

It is precisely because of this that when a large number of Cao Wei generals had to sit outside the gate of the Sword Pavilion, enduring the cold and damp winter of Qinling and Daba Mountain. But he was able to take 2,000 soldiers to live in Yang'an Guancheng, comfortably around the stove, drinking wine. Not to mention how cozy it is.

In the past two months, the main work of Huang Fuhong was to go north for 30 miles every five days to receive grain escorted by Xun Kai's army outside Seoul. Then another force was sent to escort the grain to the south for seventy miles, and to hand over the troops from the Sword Pavilion side who were going north to receive them. Other than that, you don't have to do anything.

In fact, for two months, because Shu Han's army was all blocked in various strongholds. Therefore, the grain route of the Wei army was always unblocked. Therefore, Huang Fuhong's vigilance is already very low.

At this time, not long after Huangfu Min lay down, a soldier knocked on the door: "Join the army, please get up and go to the South City Tower to have a look." ”

Dressing and undressing in the middle of winter is a very troublesome affair. Not to mention the courage it takes to crawl out of the warm bed. Hearing such a report, Huang Fuhong was unhappy in his heart: "What's the matter? ”

"There was a group of soldiers who claimed to be the first part of the general of Zhengxi from outside the south gate of Guancheng, about 200 people. The leader claimed to be the son of the general of Zhengxi, Deng Zhong, the Marquis of Huitang Pavilion. ”

"Huh!?" Hearing such news, Huang Fu immediately couldn't calm down. He quickly bounced off the bed.

In the past two months, the 1230,000 troops have sat outside the gate of the Sword Pavilion, and the soldiers have not complained. But the reason why everyone persevered was that Luoyang did not have a clear order to withdraw troops. On the other hand, everyone was waiting for news from Deng Ai's army - the sneak attack was successful, and everyone went south smoothly. Failed, go home early. So when he heard that Deng Zhong appeared, Huang Fuhong immediately realized: It's time for us to go home.

Hurriedly came to the castle tower, and saw that the army under the city was very cooperative, and all the torches were lit. Huang Fu Min's already little vigilance was a little less: if it was really the Shu army that came to steal the city, how could he take the initiative to illuminate himself so much.

Then he looked at the team below in the bright light of the fire. Well, all the Great Wei armor they are wearing, even the shield and the Pu knife are all the Great Wei military standards. It's true!

Look again, oh, this group of human figures is so thin that they don't have a human shape. This could never be the troops of the Shu army—they were eating well in the Sword Pavilion.

At this point, Huang Fu Min has basically let down his vigilance, but after all, the procedure still has to be gone through again. So he began to ask: This general is the emperor of the Zhenxi General's Mansion, who is the leader of the team in the city? Please come out and answer.

"I've seen the emperor join the army. The guilty general is the son of Deng Shizai, the general of the expedition to the west, Deng Zhong of the Longxi army. Sin will wait for Mianzhu to win and take advantage of the situation to go south to CD. As a result, Xindu City, forty miles north of the CD, was defeated by the Shu army. Almost...... Annihilated! The sin general struggled to lead these brothers from the rice cang mountain to the mountain, and now the whole team has been out of food for three days, and asked the emperor to join the army to open the city gate, so that we can go in and rest for a while. ”

"Defeated!? They all hit forty miles north of the CD but were defeated? When Huang Fuhong heard the words of "Deng Zhong", he couldn't help but feel deeply sorry. However, he still didn't let the door open: "Where is General Zhengxi?" ”。

"Father...... Woo woo woo....... my father has been martyred. If it weren't for the fact that my father had attracted the pursuers after his own death, the guilty general, too, would not have been able to get here! ”

Well, when the war is defeated and fleeing, it is normal for the father to let the son go first. But...... I don't know this Deng Zhong. For many years, I was in the Luoyang Central Army, and Deng Ai and his son were in the Longxi Army. We've never met before. Deng Ai went to the Sword Pavilion two months ago, and I wasn't there at that time. Also, my city is full of Chinese soldiers, and I basically don't have contact with the Longxi army in peacetime.

Looking at the emperor on the city tower, he was silent. "Deng Zhong" under the city tower was in a hurry: "Join the army, and the sin will know that the late-night switch is not in accordance with the rules." Nor will sin make such a non-dividing requirement. Tonight, could you please ask the general to send someone out of the city to deliver some firewood, food, water, tents, etc. Let's spend the night outside the gates. How about letting us into the city tomorrow morning? ”

You can have this. Hearing such reasonable words from "Deng Zhong", Huang Fuhong did not hesitate any longer: "Come on, send people out of the city first, and provide some food for the brothers in the city first." I'll send some tents out later. Brothers, if it is not that my emperor is unreasonable, it is really this Yang'an Guan that concerns the food of our army. Had to be cautious. Today, I invite you brothers to grieve outside the city for one night. Tomorrow, when you enter the city, I will make amends to you. ”

"How dare you. Thank you for joining the army! ”

In the sound of "branches", the south gate of Yang'an Pass opened. Dozens of Wei soldiers walked out with food.

Arrived here, due to a serious lack of vigilance. Huang Fu made two fatal mistakes

First, the city gates were not opened after the army below had retreated a certain distance. Second, he forgot that Yang'an Pass was built as a Shu Han level, mainly to defend against enemies in the north. There is an urn city in its northern city. And Nancheng, there is none!

When the Wei army in the city opened the city gate and came out, everyone's atmosphere was happy at first. The soldiers under the city were grateful and thankful, so that the archers on the city tower unconsciously lowered their bowstrings. However, by the time the Wei army in the city was ready to return to the city. All of a sudden, this army began to draw its swords against each other!

"The soldiers of Fuling County of the Great Han Dynasty are engaged in Zhao Yi here! Huangfu Min, this Yang'an Pass, it's time to give it back to our big man! ”
